Summary
Based on his own experience and others who were entrenched in the university athletic system, Rashad reveals how academic fraud continues to steal a "real" education from young black athletes. Rashad recounts his own journey as an athlete-student, seeing the talent of his idols like Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant and then paving his own path of success-all the way to the UNC 2005 basketball championship. Rashad doesn't just explain the problem. He offers viable solutions for how athlete-students can conquer the system and take charge of their own sports and educational destiny. He provides examples of others who are blazing a trail toward a better future for athlete-students. By confronting readers between the eyes with the truth of the generational slavery system, this controversial and necessary book calls for a social and academic overhaul that is desperately needed within the NCAA and university athletic system
